Do you have any tips for someone looking to land their first MLA deal, good books, resources?

Hey Leo welcome to BP you'll find lots of great people and resources here!

I'm happy to be a resource.

Nonetheless, the strategies that I am picking up on finding and MAKING deals thanks to all of you guys is guiding me along the way nicely. 

I'm continuously learning and don't know everything but I'm willing to provide any knowledge or resources of mine to help fellow investors.

@Ian Ippolito - Thanks - I just went back to your site, where the guides and background reading are the clearest I've found on the web, and immensely helpful.  

He doesn't have a vast amount of knowledge but definitely more than us.We know a few things have gone wrong in his flips, therefore he can teach us the basic of Do's and Don'ts.My wife and I would like for him to team up with us by providing knowledge.He would not have to do the hands on but just guide us through the process step by step, we are willing to put in the work.What percent should I offer from my ROI?
